Paper Bow Tutorial

Good Morning,

If you are new to this post, welcome, I am glad you are here. If you are a return visitors, I am glad you are back again.

Please respect my time and my willing to share. If you made the origami bow using this tutorial and you have either one of these facebook, yahoo group, blog, twitter and others please share the link to this tutorial. Sharing is what making blogging fun.

I saw this origami bow tutorial here. However, it was in another language and many of you needed a written tutorial plus pictures tutorial, so here it is.

A 3" x 3" paper would make a nice bow for greeting cards. I used 4" square for the bows that I made for the cake here.

A thin pattern paper would make a beautiful bow.

If you are using double side pattern paper place the side that you want down.

Thank you so much for doing the tutorial. I tried to follow the other site and I got stuck part way through and couldn't figure it out. I don't have time to try this tonight but I'm going to bookmark it because I love those bows. Thanks again.

Hi Helen, another fantastic tutorial. The bow is wonderful, but it would take me all day to hopefully make just one- and you know I like things by the dozen. : ) Hope you have a purposeful break. We will miss you.

stumbled upon your blog and this is definitely awesome! I just tried to make it and it's soooo easy to follow. Thanks to your detailed how-to with pictures. I am such a visual person so without pictures, I don't think I will be able to follow :) Thank you again!

What a lovely tutorial! Seeing the picture of the bow tie I thought I would never be able to make it, but your tutorial was so helpfull and good that I made it :D I will put it on my mums present for Mothersday, I'm sure she will love it! Thank you!

I actually yelled "I did it!" and ran around my house like a big dope showing my family :) Origami usually frustrates me to no end, but your tutorial is amazing! Now I can get cracking on making approximately a billion of these for my wedding napkin rings...

Brilliant tutorial. Made a bow in 5 minutes (though I really should've taken the time to find my scissors...the first one lacks a bit in the finesse stakes!) These will work really well with my origami gift boxes.

Your directions were fantastic!! I usually have SO much trouble with origami but I was able to easily follow your instructions and made a cute little bow from the cover of a Sports Illustrated. :) Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much. I pulled out a scrap piece of paper and worked through your tutorial and voila! A perfect bow. This will be so useful for cards and scrapbooks. I can't wait to commit the steps to memory!

I found your tutorial yesterday and have already formed a bow-making addiction. I'm absolutely going to be making these while I watch Netflix tonight. Do you think my husband will believe me when I tell him that I'm not wasting time--I'm being productive?

I love these bows. I was searching for an alternative to those horrid foil none recyclable bows you can buy from any shop to decorate Christmas gifts with when I came across this easy to follow tutorial. I've made my bows out of the same recyclable wrapping paper I'm going to wrap my Christmas presents with. Along with some handmade gift tags my Christmas presents are going to look lovely this year. Thank you.

I was asked by my boss, randomly, to create a bow quickly using paper and yours was the first tutorial I saw after a Google search - THANK YOU! I was able to do it within a few minutes and he likes it (though he wanted it bigger, LOL and I did it using an 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece!) Either way, it was adorable, pretty, and I think I'm gonna start making more when I have presents to give!

My boss asked me to create a red bow on the fly and I had no clue what to give him. He wanted something "big" for a gift. I tried your tutorial and within 10 minutes (hey, I'm no good at origami, LOL) had something he was pleased with and bonus points scored. THANK YOU for posting this one!

I know that this is an old post; but I just want to thank you for the awesome post. I found you via Jessica Jones at How About Orange. Super excited about making a special bow for my sister-in-law with your tutorial. Xoxo
